Will genetic testing really help improve your health? Many genes may contribute to a particular disease some of which are yet unknown. Know more here.

I get asked about genetic testing all the time as I do carry out some gene testing in my line of work, to aid my clinical diagnoses.

The key point to understand here is that many genes may contribute to a particular disease, some of which are yet unknown.

The other variables at play are nutrition and the environment that regulate gene expression. This has a significant bearing on whether a condition is expressed, and this is where my study and work lie.

Testing your DNA should be interpreted by someone who has a balanced view of this.  The results also shouldn't go into the wrong hands.
